Former NBA player Brandon Roy has been named the Naismith National High School High School Coach of the Year, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Monday.
Roy coached Seattle's Nathan Hale High School to a 29-0 record this season, culminating in a Washington 3A state championship victory. Nathan Hale High School star forward Michael Porter Jr., was named player of the year.
The school hired Roy in June 2016 after the program only won three games the previous year.
For the second consecutive year and just the third time ever, a player and coach from the same school won both awards.
